HomeSo this started out as a place to momentarily vent my angst during a period in my life when I was going through a very high level of stress and I was off my medication. I have decided this will be my refuge where I can be honest about the aspects of being bipolar that I don’t share with anyone.
I am generally an optimist with strong values of personal responsibility and community. Every now and then though I stop being the bubbly, cheerful optimist and sink into a murky lake of angst, anxiety, and despair. I usually try to cram those thoughts and emotions into a tiny ball and swallow them but sometimes I can’t and this is where I will seek safe haven to put into words those things I try to keep hidden in the shadows.
I don’t expect anyone to read this and will never share the existence of this blog with anyone I know. But if someone does happen to stumble upon it, please keep in mind this is only a very small part of who I am.
